A forest

    I think that a forest is essential for humans. There are many types of plants in the forest. A forest is one part of plants, animals, and human. So I want you to know about a forest.

    A forest is a living community of plants in which tree is the dominant species. First, from a distance, the forest appears to be just big trees. As we come nearer, however, we see many small plants. Some of them are young trees. A few will eventually become giants. Shrubs, vines, herbs wild flowers and mosses also sprawl over the forest floor.

    Second, there are some other lives in the forest community as well. Birds sing from treetops, frogs peep on the ground, and grouses drum on fallen logs. Some creatures can be seen but not heard: a snake slithers for cover; caterpillars devour a leaf, and spiders wait on webs that glister in the sunshine. Plants and animals compete for living room, both above and below the surface of the ground. Finally, it is the joint activity of all living things of the forest as they live, grow, reproduce, and die-that makes for soil improvement.
